The ionic and covalent bonds of ceramics are responsible for many unique properties of these materials such as high hardness high melting points low thermal expansion and good chemical resistance but also for some undesirable characteristics foremost being brittleness which leads to fractures unless the material is toughened by.
Ceramic melting point.
Broadly speaking uhtcs are borides carbides nitrides and oxides of early.
For example certain composite ceramics that contain whiskers fibres or particulates that interfere with crack propagation display flaw tolerance and toughness rivaling that of metals.
Ceramics are refractory otherwise known as high melting point materials.
Nevertheless despite such exceptions ceramics generally display the properties of hardness refractoriness high melting point low conductivity and.
Ultra high temperature ceramics uhtcs are a class of refractory ceramics that offer excellent stability at temperatures exceeding 2000 c being investigated as possible thermal protection system tps materials coatings for materials subjected to high temperatures and bulk materials for heating elements.
Common ceramics include aluminum oxide melting point mp 3720 f titania 3245 f chrom.
Common ceramics include aluminum oxide melting point mp 3720 f titania 3245 f chromia 3450 f and zirconia calcia stabilized around 4870 f and tungsten carbide cobalt 5200 f.
As stated before they tend to have very high melting points compared to most metals.

A ceramic material is an inorganic non metallic often crystalline oxide nitride or carbide material.
Some metals are also refractory.
